摘要
This paper attempted to examine the causality relationship between government expenditure and economic growth for two panels of 27 Asian countries over the 1970 to 2009 years. A Panel-VECM causality framework based on Wald's test employed to investigate short-run and long-run causality between government expenditure and economic growth and indicates bidirectional causality for Asian developing panel, while the results of long-run causality for advanced and newly industrialized countries does not support causality in any direction. These findings have the policy implication for policymakers and economists. [Mahdi Safdari, Majid Mahmoodi, Elahe Mahmoodi.
